Despite Mark Rein and other Epic staffers waxing at length on the open nature of the PS3 and the opportunity offered by user-generated content, it emerges today that Unreal Tournament 3 on the PS3 will not support mods at launch, despite the inclusion of such support being one of the game's major selling points on the console.

I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

One thing that I don't understand:

If they'll allow mods, doesn't that mean that anyone can code for the Cell without the restrictions imposed by PS3's linux environment (i.e. no access to the GPU)?

Maybe I'm missing something here because I read nothing about UT3's PS3 modding environment, but if they allow code mods wouldn't that open up the possibility of easier PS3 hacking for fun & profit?
